If a Bald Eagle married the Statue of Liberty atop Plymouth Rock, it still wouldn’t be as American as this cake.
This FrankenPie May Be the Craziest, Most American Dessert Ever
Recommended for you
Lately there are a lot of reasons to be proud to be an American. We legalized same-sex marriage, our President was funny on a podcast and Taylor Swift continues to be a national treasure. It only makes sense that in light of all those things we kick our patriotism up a notch for this fourth of July. Sure, berry cakes are nice and decorations are festive, but we need more! A country as grand as ours cannot be truly celebrated with a few meager brats and a bomb pop. Nay, we need something bigger and badder.
We need the Cherbluble.
No that’s not the Cher/Michael Buble mashup you’ve been longing for (soon, my pretties, soon); it’s the name of an epic cake/pie collaboration that’s making dessert history.
The Cherbluble is the brainchild of Charles Phoenix, the creator of the Thanksgiving-time Cherpumple. This 4th of July creation consists of a blueberry pie, an apple pie, and a cherry pie baked into a monstrous three-layer cake covered with flags, sparklers and a healthy dusting of Pop Rocks. Phoenix makes crafting this behemoth look easy, and if you can get past the vaguely sexual way he keeps saying “stuff a pie in a cake,” this video also serves as a helpful tutorial so you can make it yourself.
This is basically the cake equivalent of the lovechild of a bald eagle and the statue of liberty conceived on Plymouth Rock in terms of in-your-face American Spirit. Bring this cake to your 4th of July BBQ and politely inform the guests that if they don’t eat it, they are likely a communist.
